GERMAN IMMERSION DAY

A group of pupils studying Higher German at Braidhurst High School travelled to Glasgow last week to take part in a German Immersion Day organised by the Goethe Institute.   The group worked with students from other schools in the division and engaged in a number of purposeful as well as fun activities in the foreign language.   They played various games in German, and attempted to deliver tongue twisters in the foreign language, which is no easy task!   They also conversed with young German people to discover more about the culture and music of modern day Germany.   Braidhurst pupils were assisted by their German Assistant, Mr Tim Sentz, who works with the pupils in the Higher German class for part of the week.   All pupils thoroughly enjoyed getting to know other young people out with their own school, as well as having the opportunity to practise their language skills and extend their knowledge of various aspects of Germany today.
